Hi everyone. I would be very grateful if your could kindly look at the following configuration and suggest a good power supply for me. I have very little idea about power supplies, so need your help here.

My Configuration is :

Dell ST2320L
Intex X700
NZXT Vulcan

Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD
WDC Blue 500GB
Seagate Barracuda 2000GB x 2
Saphire Radeon 6670 1GB DDR5
Intel Core2Quad Q8300 2.5Ghz 2.5Ghz
Intel DG41KR
2GB x 2 RAM
LG SuperMulti (PATA)
1 CoolerMaster 200mm LED Fan + 4 120mm LED fans

Thanks a lot in advance. Also i haven't actually purchased the SSD and the Additional 2TB internal HDDI intend to do it along with the power supply. Any questions for me will be promptly answered. Any comments/criticism about this configuration is welcome.
Happy New Year.

that config is old...you have any upgrade idea's on your mind?
i would suggest a good 500w depending on your budget range.

sorry for hijacking
I'm using pure sinewave ups'es only.
I need a PSU for my g3220 build, 4G CORSAIR RAM, GIGABYTE H81,840 EVO 120GB SSD,thats all.
confused between Corsair CX430V2 & Seasonic ECO 400W & Antec VP450P.

only concern is bad caps for CX430V2 and no heatsink for a component(name-forgot:?)
BUT


My 1st ever branded PSU is CX430V2. using 3 of these.
Jun'12 - for a g620, no gpu build.
Sep'12- for a Athlon 4600+, no gpu build
Sep'14- for a FX6300+ SAPPHIRE R7 250 GPU.

Any of the 3 will do. Seasonic will be better. Check whether there are any service centre near your area.

Chennai is my nearest place for electronics, however, I will be buying online...

"Any of the 3 will do" I cannot decide...I think of CX430v2 but it has bad caps :(

Even antec vp450p has. But those are fine for low end config for some yrs without any problem.

so seasonic eco series 400w, would it give me a good life, say 10 years? :), and I won't upgrade.
I can't find review of seasonic eco series 400w anywhere :(

Seasonic usually never compromise on quality. Check here. One review I found out [Preview] Seasonic SS-400BT ECO Series | murah tapi tak murahan! - CHIP Forum ,not in English though. Use google translate. It may take some time to rma as seasonic ,I think is little bit slow on rma, by don't think about it now ;)

but input voltage for seasonic and antec is 200-240 where as cx430 has 90~264V :evil:,
and my cx430v2 and zebronics 400w works at 275v, yep i tested it, immediately switched my inverter to ups mode :cool: survived without any problem, still working good

it will work. or else it will be automatically turned off due to the protective circuit.
